Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code Update

Happy New Year! Last September brought about a number of changes to the Texas Alcoholic beverage code. What does this mean for Texas Breweries and Brew Pubs? Texas Brew Pubs can now distribute their products to other retailers, sharing their beer on a larger scale. They can still sell you “beer to go” in growlers or kegs as well. Texas Breweries can now sell beer on premise in their tasting rooms. Breweries are still unable to sell beer for off premise consumption direct to consumers. This means a brewery under a brewery license is still unable to sell a growler to go, or a case of your favorite beer directly to you when you visit for a tour.
